Bookroo's summary
In ancient Persia, a king's joy turns to despair when his newborn son is banished for his unusual appearance. Raised by the mystical phoenix Simorgh, the child grows in the forest, unaware of his royal lineage. As the king grapples with his loss, he must confront his own prejudices and seek redemption. Will the bond of love be strong enough to reunite them? Discover a tale of transformation and reconciliation, where the magical and the human intertwine.
From the publisher
Retold for a modern audience, the story of The Phoenix of Persia is one of the ancient epic stories of Shahnameh (The Book of Kings) by the 10th century poet Ferdowsi, reminiscent of the classic fairytale Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. In this ancient Persian, a king awaits the birth of his son but when the child is born with white hair and skin, he is banished to the forest. The young babe is brought up by the phoenix Simorgh until his father realizes the love he has lost and seeks his return. A QR code is included to download Iranian music to accompany the text.
